I have to reboot xwin everytime I turn on the computer, after frisbee addresses the adaptor. Is this normal for FatDog64?

thanks for any help

Michael

I am running FD64-520 on an AMD 64 bit processor. I have a persistant problem with the tray, which I have at the top of the screen, disappearing after bootup. I have to ^-alt-del to get the cli and restart the ui with 'xwin'. I boot FD from CD and have the save file on a NTSF data volume. this happe...

First, I want to thank the developers of FatDog. It's the best Pup I've used. Running 520 on an amd64 with 4g of ram. Have a ntfs hard drive for the save files. Almost everything is great. The issue I'm having relates to frisbee addressing the ip adaptor. After it's done, after it reports that the i...

Aitch rootkit, eh? it's in the .iso then, because I think it also happens with the cd version, which cannot be written to....... I will double check to make sure. The version I have up now is 421 on the same switch and router and it doesn't see any of that activity. is the .iso hacked? thanks, 800

Makoto That's a good question. Sorry about the version error, I'm goofy with numbers, the correct version is 5.1. I wonder why the test isn't satisfied by the lease obtained from the DNS server? It's somewhere in the code that executes during boot when it gets to the "let's address the adapter ...

Thanks upnorth

those are my default settings. no feeds, blank home page...

I have the firefox issues sorted, but still not getting the Pup Guy's predilection for hooking up, apparently during boot when the adapter is addressed...

thanks all for comments and suggestions

Thanks so much! That link solves it as far as firefox goes. I am still perplexed about Pup hooking up to google....

Google ?

What was he thinking? Still looking for that one. SOMETHING is making the connection.

thanks and regards,

thanks guys. I altered all of those preferences and it still hooks up to the 443 socket..... and the Pup makes his connection besides.....

I can't use this version, my favorite, until I get this sorted. thanks for the help.

here's a look at firefox 3.6.8 connecting itself to an outside server.

thoughts?

thanks!

Hey thanks!

got rid of the unused menus, thanks a bunch.

regards

upnorth I did some more checking. My current pup, 431, doesn't check any sites that I can detect. Firefox 2.0.0.7 doesn't call out when it opens up. But the current 51 with the current firefox does call out. I have it connecting to a different site from the ones above, on port 443, the https socket....

zygo, thanks. purpose is to declutter. I prefer just having the items I use the most be in the menus. I can locate the programs where they live and link to them if I'm using them for something. Otherwise I'd rather not have the extra stuff. I still have a few prog links on the desktop, but I may get...

Thanks so much. I forgot to mention that I'm using IceWM, do the same directions apply?

I like Ice a lot... like JWM too, but the ability to switch around is great.

Thanks for the info.

the Pup rules the old boxes !

Hi All!

Pretty self-explanatory. I've searched the site but found nothing. I'd love to be able to trim down the unused menu items the way I did in prior pups. Didn't see it in package manager either.

Anyone have this particular knowledge to share?

thanks

upnorth, thanks for the description. now I wonder why pup wants to talk to google. is there a script that I can reconfigure to stop that behavior? I just prefer the PARANOID setups. So if there is a way I can retrain him, I'd sure like to know what it is. For that matter I'd like to give him better ...

Hi All When pup 500 and 501 boot they make connections to 74.125.53.106 and to 174.143.209.250. The first connection disappears pretty quickly, but the second one hangs up and remains connected, even though LAST_ACK is sent. This looks very suspicious to me, especially since my cisco firewall will n...
